Right before Sergio Santos broke White Sox fans’ hearts, Kansas City analyst Frank White was talking about Yuniesky Betancourt’s two grand slams, and how he’s doing damage when he gets a fastball on the inner half. You’ll never guess where Santos threw his 1-0 fastball to Betancourt, with the bases loaded and the Sox holding [...]
August 17: Twins 7, White Sox 6 (10 innings)
This appeared to be a disheartening loss when John Danks flirted with an early fold. He threw a nice fastball, knee-high and on the inside black, for what should’ve been strike three against the second batter of the game, Orlando Hudson. It wasn’t called. His next pitch ended up over the left-field wall, setting the [...]
August 15: Tigers 13, White Sox 8
For the second time in two days, J.J. Putz let a ballgame get away from him. Saturday night was simply a blown save. This one was a fan-murderer. The Sox offense provided fodder for a feel-good finale, battling back from a 5-1 deficit with three runs in the fifth and three more in the sixth. [...]

July 18: Twins 7, White Sox 6
The White Sox had walked a tightrope act all day. Freddy Garcia had allowed just three runs despite letting 12 on base over his six innings, and J.J. Putz barely escaped with his scoreless innings streak in tact after allowing runners on the corners with one out in the eighth. Even still, it was hard [...]
June 8: Tigers 7, White Sox 2
This disaster unfolded with one of the softest line drives imaginable, one off the bat of Ramon Santiago headed toward Matt Thornton. Thornton was expecting something more difficult, reacting too fast, and then adjusting too late as the ball rattled in and out of his mitt. With that small step, the Tigers were on their [...]
June 1: Rangers 9, White Sox 6
To call John Hirshbeck’s outside corner as “generous” would be an understatement. So when the White Sox offense gave Mark Buehrle an early 4-0 lead, you’d think he’d be set for a win, right? Fans, prepare to be murdered. Buehrle had flirted with danger early in the game, working out of a bases-loaded jam with [...]
May 9: Blue Jays 9, White Sox 7
This should be the last game Bobby Jenks closes for a little while. Jenks entered tonight’s game with the bases empty and a two-run lead. He left with a one-run deficit after failing to retire any of the four batters he faced. A double, a bloop single, a three-run homer to Fred Lewis and a [...]
May 2: Yankees 12, White Sox 3
Maybe it was because I was stewing in 90-degree heat, but just about everything in this game was agonizing. THE DEFENSE *The Yankees scored their first run thanks to Paul Konerko’s lack of range. He deflected a fieldable ball for Gordon Beckham, and nobody could end up getting. Robinson Cano scored from second on an [...]
April 21: Rays 12, White Sox 0
Here’s a little bit of silver lining for Mark Buehrle: Had he done what he did the last time he faced the Rays, either this game would still be going on, or he’d be the next Harvey Haddix. Perfect wouldn’t have been good enough to beat the Rays with this team effort. It goes without [...]
